FESTIVALS & EVENTS
Brunch Among the Blooms
Brunch Among the Blooms is an exclusive seasonal experience at Bloom Into You Flower Farm in Flowerdale, Victoria. Just over one hour from Melbourne, this immersive gathering invites guests to slow down, reconnect, and celebrate the beauty of nature surrounded by vibrant seasonal blooms.
This curated event blends creativity, dining, and connection. Guests begin with a hands-on floral session led by guest designers, crafting a wild garden bouquet, a delicate flower crown, or a rustic table arrangement to take home. No experience is needed — just a love of blooms and a desire to create.
A thoughtfully curated menu is then served at a beautifully styled long table set among the flowers. Fresh flavours, seasonal produce, and elegant presentation create a feast for the senses. A glass of the season — sparkling, botanical, or still — adds the perfect finishing touch.
Guests can also wander the flower fields with snips in hand, gathering fresh blooms to incorporate into their creations and to take home as a memory of the day.
As part of A Summer in Bloom, visitors may also enjoy Gather and Bloom: Twilight Pick or extend their stay at Villa Minto luxury accommodation overlooking the farm.
Early bookings are recommended.
Murrindindi Beanie and Fibre Festival
The Murrindindi Beanie and Fibre Festival is a community event, a feast of fibre art, fabulous beanies, winter warmers and more. Expanding to become the Fibre Festival of the North East, the event features an arts precinct full of both indoor and outdoor market stalls, yummy treats, pre booked workshops, quilt displays and fibre art, sculptures in the park and all within an easy and picturesque walk amoung the Autumn leaves.
The town of Alexandra comes alive with all things beanie, as lamp posts, shops and businesses take up the fibre festival challenge. Beanies and winter warmers of all shapes and sizes are donated, displayed and available to purchase. You can even bid for your favourite creation if you can’t make it in person. Check out the website to see last year’s creations.
Anyone can create and donate a beautiful beanie, beginners and children are encouraged to enter. The ‘Beanie Kids Recycled Creations’ category can be made of any material. The 2025 theme is ‘The world in black and white’.
For further information on how you can enter and donate a beanie or two, category details, conditions and entry forms, look for the Festival brochure on the website or visit the Facebook page. Proceeds from the sale of the beanies go towards local charities within the community of Murrindindi.
